Jeremy
Hey, Emma. Can we talk?
Emma
There's nothing to talk about.
Jeremy
I want to say that I'm sorry for being a total jerk to you.
Jeremy
I've been a complete asshole.
Jeremy
For using your money...
Jeremy
For invading your privacy...
Jeremy
And for being disrespectful in general.
Jeremy
You're right - we accidentally swapped phones, and that's it.
Jeremy
The past few days have been hectic and thinking back to what happened...
Jeremy
I realize that I haven't treated you well.
Jeremy
I don't know what got into me.
Jeremy
All that matters to me is that you forgive me.
Jeremy
Will you please accept my apology?
Emma
We've been jerks to each other.
Emma
I think you deserve an apology from me, too.
Jeremy
I'll forgive you if you forgive me? :-)
Emma
Haha, ok. I forgive you, Jeremy.
Jeremy
Great! So does this mean that we get to be buddies?
Jeremy
You're right. Probably not.
Jeremy
I don't really want to ruin things between us, anyway. ;-)
Emma
The funny thing is, we don't really have anything between us in the first place. :-P
Jeremy
I guess I have to agree with you on that one.
Jeremy
But we could have something between us... :)
Emma
You confuse me, Jeremy.
Emma
I've honestly just never met a guy like you...
Emma
You've treated me like crap almost the entire time we've been texting...
Emma
but then you end up asking for forgiveness and now wanting to be buddies?
Jeremy
People are full of surprises, aren't they?
Jeremy
Honestly, Emma...there's nothing to be confused about.
Jeremy
The truth is...I like talking to you.
Jeremy
Maybe I don't deserve your friendship...but my day feels empty without you.
Jeremy
And this might sound weird or stupid because we barely know each other...
Jeremy
and bc I've never really met you in person before but...
Jeremy
there's just something about you.
Jeremy
I know that you've probably heard more about me than I've heard about you...
Jeremy
and whatever it is that you think of me...I hope I can convince you that I'm a good guy.
Emma
You're nothing like what I've heard.
Emma
I mean...people do say that you're an asshole and I agree on that front... but -
Emma
I can't believe I'm saying this...but you're different than I thought you'd be.
Jeremy
And you're a true sweetheart, babygirl. Never fail to fascinate me. :-)
Emma
Through text message? I fascinate you? Intriguing...and rare.
Jeremy
I am one in a million. And I think you are, too.
Emma smiled. But then quickly realized her inability to trust Jeremy.
Confusion enveloped her as she wondered whether or not he was being real.
Jeremy and Emma had met before. Once - a long time ago.
He just doesn't remember their encounter.
